Multi-objective optimization of multistage jet impingement thawing processes

Air impingement to reduce thawing time of chicken fingers for food service

“…The parameters of the gamultiobj function were set up according to the process described by Pippia et al. (2020). The three objectives of the optimization problem were (i) minimization of thawing time (total time required to reach target food internal temperature of 0℃), (ii) minimization of temperature during thawing, (iii) maximization of food temperature uniformity.…”

“…Combinations of AI thawing process parameters (thawing cycles) were defined as described by Pippia et al. (2020). By this approach, a thermal model of AI thawing was considered as a black box problem and solved by a multiobjective genetic algorithm.…”
